Where Have I Been?

Hello...I hear I have at least one reader who has missed me, so I apologize to all for my long absence. In my last post, I said I'd be going on a trip to meet a dear friend. I did, but it turned out much differently than I expected. About four days before I left, I was VERY tired and sleeping A LOT! But, I felt fine, other than that, so, I took off Sunday morning as planned, assuming the Lord would bring any necessary healing as I drove, especially after all the sleep I'd gotten the previous four days. I did wake up coughing Saturday morning and coughed a lot that day, tho. Well, I got there Sunday afternoon and coughed my head off Sunday and Monday, to the point that my ribs hurt! My friend, Peggy, urged me to let her take me to urgent care, as she was afraid it could turn into pneumonia. As I laid in bed Monday night, coughing like crazy, with a washcloth over my mouth, trying to not keep her awake, I decided I would let her take me the next day.

So, Tuesday morning I told her that and she found out where the nearest one was and how to get there, (as we were both in a state other than the ones in which we live.) We went and I was diagnosed with acute bronchitis. The doctor prescribed meds for me. We left the urgent care at about 10:30 a.m. We were going to pick up my meds and go back to the hotel. However, as we were driving down the parkway, not even five minutes after leaving the urgent care, an old woman RAN INTO US! Peggy's car was not drivable. Great...we spent the rest of the morning & most of the afternoon getting her car to a body shop and getting a rental car. We were, fortunately, able to pick up her car the next day. They did just enough repair so she could drive home and have it fixed at her local Lexus body shop, at her request. So, we went on to our next location, which is a timeshare that she and her husband own. We had a nice time there for two days, then came home, so I got back to Tulsa about 7:00 p.m. Friday.

So, Monday, I went to see my doctor and my chiropractor. I saw the accident 'happening' right before the other driver hit us, so tensed up. So, my chiropractor took x-rays of my back and my doctor took x-rays of my chest. I had more x-rays that day than I'd had in the last five years! Well, my doctor said I had 'a little bit of pneumonia' in my left lung. I ended up having it for a month, but then went right into allergies. It's been one heck of a fall! And what a vacation! After I got back from my trip, I spent most of my time being horizontal for most of September! I was SO wiped out! If that was just 'a little bit of pneumonia,' I have deep sympathy for those who've had it worse than that! I couldn't do much, except go to my doctor/chiropractor appointments, then stop on the way home and get some groceries. Needless to say, I bought food that was very easy to prepare!

Then, since, I just have had a different routine. I can't seem to get back to my old one and just couldn't get back to blogging. I'd want to, then I'd get sidetracked and/or run out of time. So, dear ones, that's 'where I've been.' Thank you, dear Julie, for telling me you have kept checking my blog, as it encouraged me to get back to it! ;)
